I've disliked (hated) the Tories since I was a teen and so for me I will vote against them untill I die... this is not based on fanatical loyalty to Labour, I simply do not trust the Tories, they are the oldest of the parties and apart from a few exeptions thier history is disgraceful:

opposed: the right of votes for all
opposed: free education for all
opposed: welfare benefits
opposed: introduction of the NHS
opposed: the minimum wage
refused to adopt sanctions against South African apartheid
As recently as 1988 issued laws of discrimination against homo sexuals

Any "real" Tory who reads this will probably be thinking YES!... the,"I'm alright jack" "get off my land" "survival of the fittest" (or wealthiest) is a fundemental inbred gene of Conservatism... it's in their DNA!

Then you get the "cap tippin" working class Tory.. the Alf Garnet types who like to think they are upholding British values by being loyal Tory supporters.. these are likely to be farm hands who rent their houses from landowners or decendants of cooks,butlers and pantry maids from Victorian times who had to support the Tory party or would have been sacked.. even though the Tories made sure they had no voting rights

I have been impressed by Cameron..I've never heard a Tory leader talk sense before now... but the real Tories are still lurking in the background and that worries me.
